Reviews

Beachbeatle1 Apr 26, 2023
An album commissioned by rich French fan DeBarge so he could be the lead singer featuring TPT’s (during their greatest creative late 60's period between "SF Sorrow" & "Parachute") as composers & backing band w/ top quality psych-pop songs, excellent playing & trademark PT's harmonising.
Essential for fans of late 60's British psych rock.
TPT’s absolutely on fire.

The story in a nutshell.
Phillipe Debarge was a wealthy, French scenster-playboy and a huge fan of the Pretties. He fancied himself as a rock singer and his dream was to make an album with his favourite band. Cashed up to make that dream a reality, he contacted the PT's, pitched the idea and an agreement was reached. The PT's wrote all the music-lyrics and Debarge sang. Once completed, the PT's involvement was done and they left Debarge with the tapes to pitch to labels for a release. Amazingly, after hearing the results, nobody bought the tapes and they sat unheard (save from some really dodgy quality boots) for years until Mike Stax (huge PT fan and owner-editor of Ugly Things fanzine) somehow got the band to agree for a cleaned up, done right, release. It's been taken from an acetates so there's some surface noise – but - here it is in all its lovely psych glory – enjoy!
